So Long, Cocoa Puffs

His legacy?Let me get this straight, Mayor Cocoa Puff wants his political legacy to be that of the Fermi "Love Canal" athletic complex, that will leave Enfield taxpayers deeper in debt (cuz let's face it, the State isn't gonna give Enfield $3.3 million for their contaminated soil bludder. Especially when Enfield purchased more contamindated soil to "cap" the clean-up efforts).

Mayor Cocoa needs to just go away, quietly. Before he embarasses himself and his family anymore.

No elected official should act that way, especially in public no matter what the circumstances! This is just another shining example of the true character this slime ball is. The residents of Enfield do not need or deserve the controversy that surrounds this guy and his minions. It’s counterproductive for the town and ultimately the residents of Enfield. I’m personally sick and tired of town officials acting like we (the town residents) are THEIR servants and they can do what ever they wish. Enough is Enough already, no matter what the party our officials represent the PEOPLE need to send the message that every elected official is on notice!

Well Mayor Cocco Puffs was the reason the dems lost. They should have took control sooner and got rid of him before he hurt all of them. Good luck republicans you have a lot to clean up from the past few years.

Ya know what's really disgusting about all this Fermi athletic field mess. Its that the Fermi boys' soccer team is once again in the State tourney (they made the finals last year), and once again, they were playing on Enfield High's football/soccer field because their Fermi field isn't complete.

The Enfield High/Fermi High football game is only a big deal for some of the current high school students and some of the former players. The whole town doesn't turn out. Enfield isn't "friday night lights" football. Both of Enfield's high school football teams records are dismay.

But the Fermi boys' soccer team is rated 9th in their division. Geting that Fermi athletic field ready for them, and the Fermi girls' soccer team (which was also in the State Tourney) should have been the priority to the Council and BOE.

If the Mayor really had his priorities straight, it would have been to provide this year's Fermi boys' soccer team with a new athletic field, to showcase their talents. Instead they'll have to settle for playing and practicing on other fields in town. To that I say "Boo Hiss".
